Food: AMAZING. We had the tabouli salad, hummus, filet, and beef kabob. I think the hummus could have used more acidity, but luckily the tabouli salad's acidity balanced it out. The kabob with the pesto-like dressing and the beet-crunchy-shallot-yogurt topping on top of the lentils was perfect. The filet is SO GOOD; had a nice crust and moist center; unfortunately the portion of it was small tho. For dessert we got the knahfeh and don't be scared! I was hesitant about the cheese, but the sweet syrup and ice cream nicely balances it out. Service: waiter was nice and gave us good recs; he strongly suggested the knafeh and we were pleasantly surprised. He frequently checked on us and we got to know him personally a lil! Ambiance: stunning. Simple and elegant. Great for a date night. Tips: I thought the hummus and pita ratio was off; so be prepared to order another pita haha.

Amazing place! The pita was warm and fresh out of the oven. The hummus had a little crunch from the fresh pomegranate seeds which was a little surprise. Chicken was the softest, juiciest, most buttery and tender chicken I've ever tasted. Salmon was also cooked to perfection. The servers were attentive and decor gave a very chill but semi fancy vibe. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Finally had a chance to try this new spot in Suwanee and it did not disappoint! First impression, the restaurant is so cute! Decor is lovely, I spotted a private room that seemed to be available to reserve, & clean bathrooms. Our waiter was so friendly! We loved his appetizer suggestion to try the calamari and fried cauliflower, both were so delicious! Next we both ordered flatbreads. My sister ordered the Lahme Beajeen - ground beef, and I had the Palestinian Mhammar - shredded chicken. They were delicious, we liked dipping them in dill sauce. The manager came by to check on us and he added to the welcoming spirit we had been enjoying since we sat down. I think we will both be back very soon!

The service people were very nice and well spoken . The inside of the building was beautiful and we fell love with the food their chicken and beef kebab was the best Arabian food I’ve ever tasted. I promise y’all if y’all came in there y’all won’t regret it. It’s best if you come there with a date or with y’all friends and family.

The food was so deliciousThe restaurant cleanedAnd pretty good
Service is excellent. Food is phenomenal. Music and decor details makes the atmosphere exciting. Food came fast. The mocktails are a great addition to the usual drink menu. We had the Pink Colada, refreshing and tangy. Staff are courteous and attentive to details. We had Kibbeh and Arayes appetizers, The Lamb Shank came steaming hot and it was a huge piece of meat. Beef kabob was well seasoned with herbs and spices, simply delicious. We had knaffeh for dessert and it was divine. Never had anything like it. It was scrumptious. We came in early and found parking right in front of the restaurant but plenty of parking behind it too. Come check it out! You won't be disappointed.Parking: Street parking in front of the restaurant and more behind.

Raik, the newly opened Mediterranean gem in Suwanee, GA, was well worth the anticipation following its long build-up. From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a stunning atmosphere, boasting beautiful decor and meticulous attention to detail. The lovely mix of tiles and textures creates an inviting ambiance throughout the restaurant, which is cleverly divided into zones, offering everything from a vibrant bar to cozy booths, a more formal seating area, and even a private dining room for special occasions.Now, let's talk about the food. The beef kabobs with mujadara stole the show with their succulent flavors and perfect pairing. The Palestinian mhammar flatbread, served on freshly baked pita, was a delightful burst of authentic taste. While the za'atar labneh with pita starter was enjoyable, a more diverse selection of crudites could elevate the dish further, perhaps incorporating tricolor carrots, endives, or radishes for added flair.The fried calamari was a revelation, boasting the most tender texture I've ever encountered, albeit a tad oily. And to cap off the meal, the knafeh dessert proved to be a delightfully unique treat, leaving a lasting impression.Overall, my experience at Raik was exceptional. It's a fantastic addition to Suwanee Town Center and Gwinnett's culinary scene.

Suwanee is lucky to have a great Mediterranean restaurant now!! We ordered a smattering of options from small plates, salads, flat bread and kebabs. Everything was delicious, fresh, made from scratch. Kebab plate portions were gigantic. Weren’t fans of the baklava (suggest to keep it traditional). Service was great, food arrived quickly, ambiance is really nice. Multiple families were dining (including us) but it would be great for a business meal as well. Kids menu is limited to pizza and chicken tenders, but the flatbread and some side dishes worked for our 8-yr old.Vegetarian options: Hummus, baba ganoush, fried cauliflower, multiple flatbreads, multiple salads, veggie kebab, falafel appetizer and falafel plateKid-friendliness: Ambiance is more upscale but there were families with smaller children.
